found a couple of bugs.

firstly, 64-bit wasnt so lucky, you broke iounmap()/change_page_attr()
:-)

secondly, as i tried to bisect it, it would build and boot at this 
patch:

  Subject: x86: clean up asm-x86/page*.h

but wouldnt build at this patch:

  Subject: x86: unify pgtable*.h

nor at this patch:

  Subject: x86: fix up formatting in pgtable*.h

it finally built at:

  Subject: x86: use a uniform structure for pte_t

but crashed. So the bug is in one of those 3 patches. Please make them 
bisect-friendly.

full bootlog and config attached. (The crash happens reliably here - if 
you cannot reproduce it then i can try any fix from you. I've removed 
the 5 patches of yours for now from x86.git.)
